Chapter 1062: Chapter 738: Finale [09] Emily Bay Exposes the Loulanel Plan, Nationwide Discussion [Part 2]

[?? I was just about to jump on the bandwagon and diss her, and she clears things up? Can’t Nora Scott be a bit more relaxed, rushing to maintain her persona like this?]

[...Feeling completely indifferent inside.]

[I want to know what on earth she did to get a whole room full of banners. Are the police station banners handed out in mass batches?]

[Checked the address, and at least ten police stations sent banners... Nora Scott’s bad girl persona has collapsed, and childhood ends with it!]

[Am I the only one who thinks Nora Scott’s bad girl persona is quite intriguing? But with so many banners... hahaha really bow down to her, she’s a real female knight doing justice, isn’t she!]

...

Time after time, face-slapping, time after time, reversals.

Netizens indulge in it endlessly.

Because Nora Scott always brings them new surprises, never reheats the same stuff, even though they know they’re being set up for face-slapping, they’re more than willing to be slapped by her.

The internet, though rife with hostility, bizarrely sinks into a harmonious and joyous atmosphere.

Oliver Scott, while scrolling his phone looking at gossip about his sister, chats with Marcus Shaw about the recent Stockholm syndrome among netizens, only to earn a side-eye from Marcus Shaw.

"Bro," Oliver Scott, far from minding, moves closer to Marcus Shaw, "didn’t sis say those who harmed your dad were caught, is there any outcome from handling this now?"

Marcus Shaw, playing games, raises his eyelids slightly at the sound, glances toward the study, and says, "The process is underway."

Nora Scott never keeps anything from him.

She’ll detail the progress—though via someone else relaying, as she’s too lazy to say it herself.

Nora Scott always treats him as an independent-minded adult, not overly concerned with his psychological health, nor doing anything wacky under the guise "for your own good."

She always directly communicates with him.

Hence, ever since Nora Scott came back from Loulanel City and learned of the arrest of those who killed his father, she’s truthfully informed Marcus Shaw.

Then had someone keep Marcus Shaw updated.

"Will they be sentenced to death?" Oliver Scott asks.

"Yeah."

Marcus Shaw nods.

Actually, Oliver Scott’s character has some compassion, due to his age—not having engaged with society, not having seen all types of people.

But in this matter, Oliver Scott calmly accepted it.

—Evil has its reward.

—People who recklessly take others’ lives should always foresee the doom of their fate.

Oliver Scott’s heart remains unmoved.

At this moment, Pedro Langley walks out of the study, holding two cups, evidently running errands for Nora Scott and Fátima.

"Brother-in-law!" Oliver Scott calls him.

"What?"

Shooting them a glance, Pedro Langley heads towards the water dispenser.

"Given my sis and Miss Morton’s speed, can they complete it during our summer break?" Oliver Scott props his elbow on the sofa’s backrest, asking excitedly, "If so, could my brother and I go see it?"

Marcus Shaw: "..." When did I say I wanted to see it?

"If an on-site visit is needed, Miss Morton must apply to the authorities." Pedro Langley responds, pauses, then eyes the two, "But with you both, it should be fine."

After all, both are insiders and participated in some of the blueprints.

Moreover, Fátima and others are striving to lower this project’s secrecy level.

"Alright."

Oliver Scott beams.

"Buzz buzz buzz—"

"Buzz buzz buzz—"

"Buzz buzz buzz—"

Marcus Shaw’s phone keeps vibrating.

He furrows his brows, has no choice but to pause his game and answer the call.

"Marcus Shaw, any plans after the college entrance exam?" Benjamin Durant’s voice comes from the phone. There’s no speaker mode, but, being close enough, Oliver Scott hears it crystal clear due to Benjamin Durant’s loud voice.

Marcus Shaw purses his lips, "No."

The only definite plan: Attend Nora Scott and Pedro Langley’s wedding.

Oliver Scott just added a plan: Visit Mechanism City’s entrance. But it’s uncertain, can’t rely on it.

No other plans otherwise.

"Wanna experience life here with us?" Benjamin Durant asks warmly, "Since you’re an adult, it’s not exactly child labor."

Marcus Shaw initially means to say "no," but catches Oliver Scott gesturing enthusiastically, nodding, even pointing to himself—the message crystal clear.

So Marcus Shaw forces a change of course, "Have you spoken to Oliver Scott?"

"Hm?" Benjamin Durant pauses, "Talked about what?"

"Going together."

"Him... too delicate-skinned, not quite suitable." Benjamin Durant chuckles, "Bring him for fun’s fine, but work’s out of the question. He’d be a clear burden."

Oliver Scott: "..." The knowledgeable one’s heart suffers unprecedented damage.

Marcus Shaw glances at Oliver Scott, lightly frowns, then tells Benjamin Durant, "He doesn’t go, I don’t go."

"...Ok, I suppose."

Benjamin Durant reluctantly agrees.

Oliver Scott, moved, reaches for Marcus Shaw’s hand.

Marcus Shaw, with a disgusted face, shakes him off.

Pedro Langley watches with amusement, then carries the two cups of water back to the study.

Due to Nora Scott’s room full of banners, the internet buzzes lively for a few days again.

The heat gradually cooling down.

Yet—

Just as the buzz seemed to settle, a sudden celebrity Weibo post once again thrust Nora Scott into the hot search, immediately "exploding," causing Weibo to crash within ten minutes.

Annabelle Pinto posted a long Weibo.

In a lengthy post, she elaborates on her knowledge of Mechanism City, the Loulanel project, and recounts her and Nora Scott, Luna Durant, and others’ joint venture to Sand Delta.

Furthermore, she named the first episode of "Star’s Married Life" where Nora Scott and that group of soldier brothers discussed precisely "Mechanism City blueprints."

She disclosed everything she knew, one by one.

The ticking time bomb Nora Scott and Pedro Langley feared exploded, unexpectedly, in a nationwide sensational way.
